About this episode
Did Saturday Night Live UK flop or not? Are we in a golden age of British comedy? And why has Netflix parted ways with Harry and Meghan? SNL made its UK debut on Saturday night after weeks of scepticism from critics - but was it any good? And who was responsible for a freakishly good Princess Di impression? Netflix has announced it’s divesting from the lifestyle brand it helped Meghan Markle build, amidst damning reports about the couple. So what’s really going on, and were Sussex’s entertainment dreams doomed from the start? Last One Laughing returns to our screens - is this blockbuster comedy at its best? Richard and Marina discuss the filming secrets and big budget behind the hit reality show. The Rest is Entertainment is brought to you by Octopus Energy, Britain's most awarded energy supplier.
